You're saying she doesn't deserve any blame for what happened when she was Secretary of State right? Your argument is that whatever went wrong is really Obama's fault right? Well then you can't credit her when things went well, if anything did, right?

Are you asking me? I have no

Hal I provided you with links. I don't care if you accept them.

Gaddaffi set up Africans as scapegoats.

Are you asking that if Hillary did nothing wrong, she could not have done anything right?

PP - you insist on "in for a dime in for a dollar". In other words, in order to stop Gaddafi from the feared slaughter in Benghazi, we had to bomb him into submission. Obviously, as I have pointed out on several times, there was a third option. Stop the advance into Benghazi, drive whatever troops were already there out, but leave him in power in the rest of the country. You ignore this point, although I've made it several times. I'm guessing it's because to acknowledge it would require you to admit your candidate made an indefensible miscalculation or worse. AmIrite?

In reply to Regarding Gaddaffi's racism,

rmrd - your link claiming Gaddafi was racist provides no evidence for the claim nor does it identify racist actions by Gaddafi. Does Hillary Clinton deserve any blame for actions she and her subordinates took while she was Secretary of State? If the answer is no, then she doesn't deserve any credit for her time there either right?

In reply to I give responses that are

RMRD - Clinton/Obama empowered the racists by deposing Gaddafi. There was a good option - stop the tyrant's troops outside of Benghazi but don't kill him. Why do you believe criticism of Obama is totally out-of-bounds. Is he some third rail? Are leaders ever responsible when their decisions/policies lead to bad outcomes or harm people? Can you identify any such decisions/policies of Obama or Clinton that lead to bad outcomes? If not, would you say your view is fanatical?

Part of the point, as Hal said, is that there was no reason to believe that tens of thousands of civilians were going to be massacred. That was boilerplate to justify an intervention that was really undertaken for geopolitical reasons, not humanitarian ones.

That's unresponsive to my comment. To truly address it you would have to say:

If Hillary had said the U.S. should not get involved and Quadaffi massacred tens of thousands of civilians I would not have blamed her; I would have applauded her.
